Demands to Restructure Higher Education Outputs to Meet Labor Market Needs

Debate is escalating in official and societal circles regarding the significant gap between academic outputs and labor market requirements, amid a growing annual number of graduates that exceeds the absorption capacity of both public and private sectors. Parliamentary and academic calls have urged the development of strategic plans to update curricula and introduce specializations that align with global advancements, such as artificial intelligence and financial technology. Emphasis was also placed on activating the private sector's role to become a key partner in absorbing this youthful energy and curbing the rising unemployment rates among recent graduates.
